The method specified here serves to determine the resilience of rubber having a Shore A or IRHD hardness
of between 30 and 85 (see DIN 53519-1) when subjected to impact. This method is particularly suitable for
a rough assessment of the dynamic behaviour of rubber using simple equipment. When rubber is deformed,
it absorbs energy which is partly recovered when it regains its original shape. Energy that is not returned as
mechanical energy is dissipated as heat in the rubber.
